What is this obsession about cramming everyone into city traffic? Frankly Franklin campus was the best asset. I smell corruption

Goodbye IT desk.

Seems that the IT staff is all going offshore. Infosys is taking over again. We all remember last time they worked. The field is going to love this.

Why was DG fired?

What’s behind the quick dismissal of DG? And what happens to the USAA prodigies, aka the Price Is Right models?

Parking Update

It's called The Reorg! JS got the entire company swaying to that crazy reorg beat. CM grabbed his dancing shoes and showed everybody how to really shake it down. Reorg! Reorg! When you are a leader and don’t know how to deliver, Reorg! If your... — read more 

Why do this?

Our best manager got pushed out for someone who su-ks up but can’t deliver. Now our group is drowning while all the new guy does is take credit. Instead of noticing what’s really happening, leadership just eats it up. Who exactly is this benefiting... — read more

Who will we obsess about now? :(

AA adding VP’s laying off workers

From AA’s AMA, AA’s teams are bracing for layoffs in the middle of June, and yet he’s still busy inflating his ego by adding more layers of vice presidents? Watching this unfold, it’s both disheartening and infuriating. Leadership isn’t about titles... — read more

Silent layoffs?
